Abstract

ABSTRACT The negative impact of oil spillage cannot be overemphasized. The Niger Delta area which is the hub of oil exploration and exploitation has experienced lots of oil spillage in the past years. This research work was carried out in some parts of Niger Delta area using Nigerian Agip oil Company (NAOC) oil spill data. The research work aimed at identifying the oil spill sites using Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. The data used were collected from two major sources, namely; primary and secondary data sources. The primary data were collected by using Analogue Map of the study area. The secondary data was the NAOC oil spill geospatial database of 2016, 2017 and 2018. Data Processing which includes Scanning, Georeferencing and Digitizing were carried out using GIS software (ArcGIS 10.5). The location of oil spill sites and quantity of oil spill were identified for each year. This study showed that GIS is indispensable tools in managing and predicting oil spillage, therefore, it is recommended that oil companies should always apply GIS techniques in identifying, managing and predicting oil spillage. This however may lead to more rapid spill management and effective remediation of impacted areas.
